Not sure which door fits your freight?
Tell us the origin, the pieces and the date it can leave. We will tell you whether the advance warehouse or direct to show makes more sense for Sample Expo, and quote it.
Move-out
Move-out: Feb 11 – 12, 2027
Outbound freight needs two things before the booth is packed: a completed material handling agreement turned in to the show contractor, and your carrier’s bill of lading and labels on the freight. Freight on the floor without both when the hall clears is forced onto the contractor’s carrier at their rate. Book the outbound carrier before the show opens, not on the last day.

Questions about shipping to this show
When does the advance warehouse for Sample Expo 2027 start receiving freight?
Sample Show Services Advance Warehouse begins receiving Sample Expo 2027 freight on Jan 8, 2027 and the receiving deadline is Jan 29, 2027 by 3:30 PM PT. Receiving hours: Mon–Fri, 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM.
What is the last day to ship to the Sample Expo 2027 advance warehouse?
Freight should arrive at the advance warehouse no later than Jan 29, 2027 by 3:30 PM PT. Freight arriving after the deadline is accepted through Feb 3 at a late-to-warehouse rate. Plan transit from your origin backwards from that date, not from the show's opening day.
Can freight go direct to Sample Convention Center for Sample Expo 2027?
Yes. Direct-to-show freight for Sample Expo 2027 is received from Feb 6 – 8, 2027 by 4:00 PM PT. Delivery hours: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM, by assigned window. This show uses targeted move-in: Booths are assigned a delivery window by hall; check the move-in schedule for yours.
Is there a carrier check-in deadline for Sample Expo 2027?
Carriers delivering direct to the show must check in at the marshalling yard by Feb 8, 2027 by 2:00 PM PT. All direct freight checks in at the Sample marshalling yard first; no carriers go straight to the docks. A driver who arrives after check-in closes waits for the next available slot, so the carrier's appointment matters as much as the ship date.
When is move-out for Sample Expo 2027?
Move-out runs Feb 11 – 12, 2027. Outbound freight needs a completed material handling agreement turned in to the show contractor and your carrier's paperwork ready before the booth is packed; freight left on the floor without both is forced onto the contractor's carrier at their rate.
Who bills material handling (drayage) at Sample Expo 2027?
Sample Show Services, the show's general service contractor, bills material handling, which is moving freight from the dock to the booth and back. That charge is separate from transportation and is not part of a DTS quote.
What does DTS do for Sample Expo 2027 freight?
DTS arranges and coordinates transportation to the advance warehouse or the show site through our carrier network, and back out after the show. DTS does not operate the warehouse and does not move material on the show floor; the general service contractor does that.
